RONTOMS SUNDAY SESSIONS

Haley Heynderickx // Briana Marela // Lilac

Haley Heynderickx

"With her otherworldly presence, Haley Heynderickx's music casts a long shadow... She mesmerizes onstage, letting space build between her chords, pillowing her distinctive, lilting vocals and letting the songs breathe and soar. She recalls Angel Olson, and was influenced early on by Nick Drake and Bob Dylan..." -Portland Mercury

Briana Marela

"Just as she does in her intimate live performances, Marela loops and layers pitched exhalations (usually "oh" or "ah-oh") to create choral collages that could just as easily evoke Iceland or her Pacific Northwest homeland. It’s her best, most affecting asset. Her emotional forthrightness can be refreshing, too." -Pitckfork.com
